God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Waiting on God entails three elements:
1. Complete dependence on Him (embracing the truth of what He has just said and actively entrusting one’s soul and circumstances to the God who does what He says He does).
2. Yielding to His schedule, i.e., patiently acquiescing to the wisdom of His timing, not ours.
3. Seeking God’s face, pressing in to know Him better and to love Him more.
In 2008, in defending his current position against same-sex marriage but for civil unions, [President Obama] said concerning people who might find his position controversial, “I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.” Two things strike me about this. First, he's not consistent about his application of the golden rule; he's pro-abortion-but of course he doesn't want to be hacked to pieces without anesthesia, which is precisely what certain abortion procedures entail. Second, choosing the golden rule over “an obscure passage in Romans” shows he doesn’t understand that “the entirety of [God's] word is truth” (Ps. 119:160). Both the Golden Rule and the Romans 1 passage are true; it's not a choice between the two. Since he used to give lectures on Constitutional law at the University of Chicago, I doubt that he would ever use the term “an obscure phrase in the Constitution,” because obscurity is about one’s perception of importance, not the actual importance of a matter. To a Constitutional lawyer who respects the document, every phrase of the document is important. To a serious [true] Christ-follower, every word of His scriptures is important.
Mix the flour and salt and sugar together. Cut in the shortening and add
enough ice water to make a stiff dough. Beat your dough with a mallet until
it is smooth, folding frequently. Takes about 20 mins then roll out the
dough, cut with a small cookie cutter or tin can rim. Bake these for 30
mins in a 375 degree oven. If desired dust these with some powdered sugar.
Makes 20 small biscuits or cookies.
